Celebrating the Barossa
We had a wonderful Easter this year in South Australia visiting my husband's Dad and his wife and also had the opportunity to visit during the Barossa Vintage Wine Festival which was FABULOUS!! I do love a good drop of red and especially something big and bold like a Shiraz so the Barossa is definitely the place to go and enjoy the vines and a glass or two of the new harvest. We had a great Family Day at Seppeltsfield Winery filled with ice cream, rides, magic shows, grape treading and the Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt and it was a good thing we got there early because as we left we saw just how far everyone had to park to be able to join in the fun!
{Celebrate} Audrey's Fairy and Wizards Party
Twas the night before Audrey's Party,
and not all was done
there were meringues and paper flowers
that kept us up 'til 1!
I dreamed of the macaroon tower
which never got made
and all of the sweets that
yet needed to be displayed!
I woke in the morning
to the sun shining bright
l then knew that everything
would be all right!
The weather was perfect
who could ask for more ...
then came my helpers
1, 2 ,3, 4 ...
We all worked hard
through out the morn
making and creating
and then the party was born!!
Out came the wizards
and the fairies
all for little Audrey
who was turning 3!
Oh such fun
to see them play
on such a fine
and beautiful day
This party could not
have been done
without the help
from everyone!!!
So Thank You
from Audrey and me
for helping create
the Perfect Party!
Thank you to my kitchen team who worked so hard making all the savory food -
my Mum Viv, my sister in law Em, and sister in law to be Deb and thanks to dear Nikki who was very sick but still worked tirelessly making the girls look gorgeous and helping with all the jobs that needed to be done!!
Thank you to my set up and decorating team -
my gorgeous husband Lawrence and my wonderful brother Alex who worked very hard to make my vision a reality and to Simon for helping tie up 90 balloons!!

Fairy Party Countdown
This past week l have had so much fun creating and decorating for Audrey's 3rd Birthday Party!! At one point l was wondering if there were too many elements and whether this would make the party look just a little too Frou Frou!!! But now seeing it all come together l am getting quite excited!!
I have been very busy getting the kids to help me too but Audrey gets bored quite easily and it has been a hard task distracting her from all the lolly pops, marshmallows and lollies lying about the house!! Of course there has been some taste testing along the way just to ensure quality standards!!! The mallow sticks l bought are just simply delicious and l have to admit l ate 2 for lunch yesterday!!! hahaha!
So here are some pics of the items l have created and decorated this week and l have to say the hot glue gun has become my best friend however my poor little burnt fingers would prefer it otherwise!! (oh by the way l do use a lot of !!!! as it is a bad habit of mine) Well l hope you enjoy this glimpse and l will post more photos of the party after Sunday!
